CryptoQuikRead_348 - All 21M Bitcoin Already Exist [Phil Geiger] Feb 05, 2020

Show notes

"we have nearly 11 years of empirical evidence that the network itself has been holding and transacting bitcoin, but instead of with private key signatures, it’s in exchange for hashed electricity." - Phil Geiger

Framing the scarcity of Bitcoin at first seems obvious, but with a closer look, is far more difficult than it would seem. Does the supply actually inflate at all? Does the market price in all future halvings? Do the Bitcoin exist when they are mined, or do they exist today, sold to the miners in exchange for hashes? Phil presents a very interesting perspective and way of framing the supply of Bitcoin, in this great piece from the Unchained Capital Blog.

CryptoQuikRead_346 - The Kindest Cut; Why The 2020 Bitcoin Halving... [Peter C. Earle] Jan 31, 2020

Show notes

"What’s noteworthy about this point is that, upon this particular halving, Bitcoin “inflating” at a roughly 1.8 percent rate annually will nominally — and by then, quite possibly in real terms — be “inflating” at a rate lower than both the Federal Reserve target of 2 percent per year and current, CPI-based estimates of real U.S. inflation of 1.9 percent annually." - Peter C Earle

Another great piece from Bitcoin Magazine written by Peter C. Earle, detailing the reasons why this next halving will make Bitcoin a true contender in the world of monetary policy. In a very short span, Bitcoin will become the most scarce & strictly defined financial asset on Earth… are you ready?

CryptoQuikRead_345 - Bitcoin Obsoletes All Other Money [Parker Lewis] Jan 30, 2020

Show notes

"Money is an intersubjective problem, and a choice to opt into one monetary medium is an explicit opt out of the other, which in turn causes one network to gain value (and utility) at the direct expense of another." - Parker Lewis

Skipping around a little bit in the "Gradually, Then Suddenly" series, we read the most recent (#12) published on the Unchained Capital Blog. No, Bitcoin isn't a startup. No, there will not be many currencies. No, you can't create an alternative that doesn't compete with Bitcoin's monetary properties. The very problem of money is one of intersubjectivity, which can only be solved through convergence on a single monetary medium. Bitcoin.

Listen to this excellent installment from Parker Lewis and the Unchained Team. "Bitcoin Obsoletes All Other Money."

GuysTake_026 - The Halving is Not Priced in, Here's Why Jan 29, 2020

Show notes

As a follow up to Nic Carter's excellent breakdown of the efficient market hypothesis, and PlanB's piece addressing the market's evaluation of the risks in Bitcoin, I go through the reasons I feel the market both is very unwilling and unconfident about the consequences of the halving, and therefore sees it not as "known information," but more a blind gamble.

For diving deeper into the many topics and works that I brought up, here are the links of all those I remembered:

CryptoQuikRead_344 - Efficient Markets & Bitcoin's Stock to Flow [PlanB] Jan 24, 2020

Show notes

"A first reaction could be that it is a great investment opportunity. A better reaction (from an EMH and non arbitrage point of view) would be that it is too good to be true." - PlanBIf the efficient market hypothesis requires that known events be priced in, then how could the S2F be a model for Bitcoin's price? When such an obvious and unchanging piece of information is available, shouldn't the market price it in? Continuing with the foundation laid from yesterday's article, we read Plan B's piece on what a risk & return model might tell us about the market's pricing of Bitcoin ahead of the halving.

CryptoQuikRead_343 - Introduction to the Efficient Market Hypothesis for Bitcoiners [Nic Carter] Jan 23, 2020

Show notes

"So is the halving “priced in” or will it be a catalyst for appreciation? […] I consider it patently absurd that a change in issuance would have been overlooked by the price-setting entities." - Nic Carter

You are definitely gonna want to hear Nic's incredibly thorough argument as to why in this article! Breaking down the EMH, its origins, the many different iterations of the concept, & how best to frame it in the context of a real world market; Nic gives us another excellent work that is a must listen for all Bitcoiners.

CryptoQuikRead_341 - The Rise of the Individual [Aleks Svetski] Jan 16, 2020

CryptoQuikRead_340 - The Cat is Out of the Bag [Nic Carter] Jan 15, 2020

Show notes

"Unlike Paypal, Venmo, or traditional payment processors, it cannot deplatform you for wrongthink, holding subversive political views, being a sex worker, or legally selling cannabis. Ours is the biggest possible tent. Don’t be distracted by the online discourse. Bitcoin is utterly indifferent to the political views of its users." - Nic Carter

Getting close to finishing the amazing collection of articles in The Bitcoin Times Ed 2, and today we need another great one, by returning author Nic Carter, titled - The Cat is Out of the Bag. This one is not to be missed.
